Teach & Travel Beijing

Oct 7, 2016

This was my first time leaving the country from Texas. I was so surprised by how helpful ICN was when walking me through the whole process. They helped me with the passport and visa. Not only that but they got me a job! When I arrived in China there was a definite difference in the environment from culture to food. I was shocked but loved it. I taught for 3 years with ICN Teach and Travel. I spent my first year in Beijing but then after the first year I wanted a different scenery. Beijing was cool at first, all the touristic and ancient things to see such as the Great Wall of China. After the first year though that stuff gets old, literally lol. Shanghai is more my style since it was more international and modern. I felt like it had a lot of Europeans which I vibe well with. I like both places though for different reasons, some people definitely like Beijing more for their cultural hub feeling.

What would you improve about this program?
Pay for the flight instead of reimbursement.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory was when I rented a moped scooter in Vietnam to explore different villages. It was pouring rain and my first time driving a moped. I went to the beach after and drank a nice big coconut. My friend at the time loved it, she's my girlfriend now.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I never knew I could be so independent and discover new ways to be proficient and efficient. I also learned managerial skills that I have always wanted.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

The best story I've heard from a returning student was that they traveled all the way to the Gobi Desert and back. The sites that she described sounded so magical I could picture mad max fury road ripping across that desert.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose to go to Shanghai and teach English since it had always been my dream to work in another country. I chose Shanghai to be in the most international city there. I would love to explore ancient China and spend some time hiking around the jungles and villages as well!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

We work fast and efficient, unlike bigger companies who spend so much time doing paperwork! We can get people hired in 1-week. Thomas and I are both American-born so there isn't any language or cultural barrier with our candidates, unlike our competition. We also have some people who were born in China working with us, they talk to the school and coordinate everything in Chinese for us!

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Being able to grow and adapt fast is the most important factor for being a successful company. The times are always changing, nothing is constant.
